I have been working on my layer cake quilt ... the green blender fabric arrived in the post and I am sooooo happy I decided to do the extra bit of work and frame the blocks:
I cut 1 1/2 " strips for the inside sashing and 2 1/2" strips for the borders:
I'm very pleased at how it's coming together and we decided it would make a great present for our dear Aunty Ruth who will be celebrating her 89th birthday next Sunday so I have until next Wednesday night (gulp, a week!) to finish the top, make the back, baste, quilt, bind and label it! Love a challenge?! Easy peasy :D

Beautiful! The green brings it all together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Aunty Ruth will love it. I never think to use such narrow sashing but it is just the thing here. Thanks for sharing. I will try to put that in my bag of tricks.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics! I know you will get it done on time, and your Aunt will love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful I am sure your Aunt will love it.

Looking good! What a great blender :-)
ReplyDeleteWave that good wand, Glinda! You can do it! Love the blender fabric sashing and borders.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous green fabric, what an inspired choice. You sew, girl!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! It will make a beautiful gift
ReplyDeleteIt's just so pretty! And I think I'd get a lot more done if I self-imposed these crazy deadlines like you do. Can't wait to see it all finished up!
